T0 A LL WHOM 'IT MAY CONCERN:

`Be it known that I, C. I). DEVEREAUX, of North Newburg, in the county ofA Shiawassee, and State of Michigan, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Plough-Cleaner; and'I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- The ligure shows iy improved cleaner attached to a plough-'beam and handle, and shows in red lines thc position of the parts when the cleaner is thrown"forward.`

v Similar lctters'of. reference indicate corresponding parts. o

My invention has for its lobject to'im'prove the construction ci' Huntingtonsplough-cleaner, patented January 15, 1867,' and assigued'to me, so as to give it more power and make it more ellcient in operation and itconsists in forming a wing nponor attachingl it to-therearedgeof the cleaner, and in the combination of a lcverwith -the rod and plough-handle, the whole being constructed and arranged as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the beam, Bis the standard, and C is the handle ofthe plough, about the construction of which parts there is nothing new.. D is the elbow-cleaner, the forward arm alll of which is pivoted to the beam, and to the upper or longer arm d2 is pivoted theforward end of the operating-rod E. As before constructed, when the lower part o f the cleaner D was forced forward to clean the rubbish out of the angle between the beam A and standard B, a space was left between the cleaner aud the standard, into which therubbish entered and clogged the plough Worse than if no cleaner had been' attached. To remedy this I have formed a wing or extension, di, upon, or attached it to the rear side of the lower part of' the cleaner, so that when the said -clc'aner is forced forward no space will be left between it'and the standardB, as shown in-the drawing. I The rear end of the. operating-rod E is l pivoted to the lever F, the lower end of which is pivoted to the main' or left-hand, handle C of the plough.4 The upper end of 'the lever F extends forward and upward,.so as to form a handle for conveniently operating the cleaner.' By these improvements the cleaner .is made to operate with much more ellciency and with greatly increased power. o o

I claim asnew, and desire to secure by 'Letters Patent 1. Forming a wing or extension, al, upon or attaching it tothe rear side of the lowcrpart-UZ? of' the cleaner D, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purposeset forth.

2. The combination ofthe lever F with the connecting-rod E and handle C, substantiallyas 'herein shown and described, and for the purpose set` forth.
